Abstract

The paper is a part of the author’s project founded after his basic phenomenological research about the notion of lebendige Gegenwart as compliance with the temporality of the “now”. The author presents and examines results connected with his research about Husserl’s various aspects of the [living] present. He continues Husserlian idea in order to describe the “now” using non/beyond temporal terminology. Additionally, there is used no deeper than psychological kind of transcendental reduction as the base of phenomenological method. The “now” is shown in the context of lebendige Gegenwart, the “actuality”, the “present” and a stream of the consciousness as immersed in flow of time. “Simultaneousness” is not considered. The author’s starts from uncovering some wrongs in interpretation of Husserl’s [lebendige] Gegenwart which have been made since the fifties of the 20th century by Husserl interpretors. Clarification and simplification of considered terms are a preparatory stage of the author’s explanation of the living present. Some examples given after psychological type of transcendental reduction complete the presentation.
